Political historian at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Samuel Adu Gyamfi, has expressed concern over recent remarks made by some politicians in the lead-up to the December 7 polls.
At a party rally in the Eastern Region, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong, stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP), would do whatever it takes to win the election.
In response to Bryan’s comments, the MP for Adaklu, Kwame Governs Agbodza, also asserted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will resist any actions that could disrupt the electoral process.
Speaking in Adaklu alongside NDC flagbearer John Mahama, Agbodza vowed that the opposition will not tolerate any actions that could undermine the election’s integrity.
He highlighted the violence during the 2020 elections, which resulted in eight deaths, and warned that a repeat in 2024 would not be accepted.
Commenting on these developments, Prof. Adu Gyamfi urged politicians to be cautious with their statements, warning that their words could potentially plunge Ghana into chaos if care is not taken.
